In the 17th century the Basque dialect of Labourd opposed "reflexive" and "non-reflexive" possessive pronouns. These pronouns can be interpreted respectively as anaphoric and pronominal in the theory of binding.
After a quick-introduction of the whole system and a summary of its theoretical importance regarding Transformational-Generative Grammar, we find the description of several contemporary systems ("restricted" Navarro-Labourdin, "expanded" Navarro-Lab., Guipuzcoan, Biscayan). The author attempts to snow that the study of the opposition between these possessive pronouns makes us introduce into the lexical characterization of some of them the (± topic) enunciation parameter or "feature". It also prevents us from making an absolute split between constituent grammar on the one hand and text-speech grammar on the other.
